Search - Guilt (Abe Glitsky, Bk 2)

"Guilt" is one of those books that keeps pushing you to read "just one more chapter."

If you read the back cover, it is about a murder, but we don't get THAT murder until page 300. The set up is worth the read. Lescroart populates his novels with plenty of interesting characters and motives.

The gist if the book is a successful lawyer is indicted for murdering his wife. You know the book is heading in this direction, but when you get to that point you are still wondering if he did or didn't kill her.

One of Lescroarts best.

Lescroart continues with his excellent series built around his main characters of Glitsky, Hardy, et. al.. He's to be commended in that I have yet to catch a flavor of him "manufacturing" books to meet deadlines. So many popular authors do that - you can easily tell when the deadline is looming in the change in pace in the book; the dropped-off attention to detail, seeming to suddenly come to the end of the book, with little closure, after getting engaged. Lescroart doesn't do this. "Guilt" and all this other books are terrific in the way they take you into the lives of the characters, maintain the mystery to such a strong degree, and give endings that are more closely what you might imagine real life to be - not a "Perry Mason" ending - but one that tends to make you think, and miss the story thread when you're done. Highly recommend the book!

This book was difficult to put down. The action moves right along. You feel you know the characters!
